Summary: Padma's funeral

The service had been mercifully short and simple, for which Theo was grateful. Not that he cared too much. As far as he was concerned this entire day was only a necessary evil, a show for everyone else, something not relating to himself.

He didn't care about the words and gestures or about the condolences or the sadness on other people's faces. He kept his cool, his control, and his mask, his face showing nothing more than polite interest at most. Perhaps he looked cold, harder than normal, but honestly he didn't care. This was not his goodbye and he refused to let emotions that were private be shown in public.

Instead he walked around the reception with an air of indifference, reminding himself to thank Tracey for the work she had done in planning this. He had had nothing to do with it, had ignored it as much as he could. He would ignore it now if form would let him, but he was raised too well to think that it would.

As he spoke to those he had to, he avoided others. The Weasleys, there to support Parvati. Parvati herself whose mere appearance now seemed to taunt him. He was also sure she would not appreciate the utter lack of anything Hindu or Indian, witnessing of Padma's heritage. Theo had not asked for it, Tracey had most likely not through of it. Theo didn't care.

He hadn't even thought to inform her relatives about her passing. It all seemed so far away. So…pointless.

He sighed, taking a glass of champagne from a passing tray, faking another nod accepting another false offer of sadness and grief. Most of all he wanted to leave. And so he nodded, excused himself and moved on, his face never expressing any emotion. Sometime he wondered if it ever would again. He almost hoped not.

At first when they've received their invitations to the funeral, Cass had almost suggested that they didn't go. His head was still spinning from everything that was going on and just knowing he was a father was reason enough for him to want to hide at home.

Preferably in bed with Percy.

Still, when it came down to it, he didn't suggest that they'd stay home, and they both ended up going.

It was definitely different, to arrive at a social gathering like this with Percy. Officially being out. Some looked and whispered, some just didn't care. His so called family turned away in disgust (if it meant that he wouldn't have to talk to them he was quite grateful for that). Nott seemed not to know they were there, but then the look of indifference on the man was almost complete. Cass couldn't help but to wonder if he'd cared at all for his wife when she was alive.

He'd stayed close to Percy for the most part, but as he saw Harry standing without company for a moment, he decided that this was as good a time as any to talk to him. And seeing how well Harry and Percy got along it was always best to talk to him while on your own. Leaving Percy for a moment he headed over, smiling as he walked up to Harry.

'Just the man I need to talk to,' he said with a smile. 'How are you?'

Smiling at Cass as he approached him Harry chuckled, "See I've learned to be terrified when Slytherins say that to me. Rarely ends well on my part." He couldn't resist teasing.

"I've been fine. You're looking much better." Harry said looking Cass over for any lingering signs of weakness. "Heard quite a few rumors about you today." Mainly people wondering how long him and Percy had been together, and the possibilty of love potions being involved since most didn't think Percy was capable of caring about someone. Added to tha were the ones wondering why Cass would want Percy under a love potion, or Percy want Cass under one.

	Antonin made a quick gesture with one hand as if throwing something small away, "Such a waste; so much waste and pain." He gave Theo an appraising look. "Let me know if we can help with the vendetta and retribution. I've a little experience with that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Theo nodded, understanding well how the curse worked. It was advanced, and impossible to break without the right trigger. 'As long as we first make sure he is the caster, I have no preferences regarding what shape he's brought back in as long as he is able to give us what we need.' (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
